$447.79
Released May, 2008
The Pros:Nice controls for CD/DVD playback, easy to work with. Display s bright and sharp, makes video easy to watch. Touch panel is responsive and well designed, don't have to keep selecting things.
The Cons:No station preset buttons on the front panel, a bit awkward to switch while driving. Going through the settings can be a long and involved process, more awkward than necessary.

The CQ-VX100U is compatible with iPod adapters, Satellite Radio and can also be connected to a CD changer.
